What the register of interests is
The chief executive, directors, heads of service, and some key senior officers, complete a register of interests which is updated regularly and at least every year.
The register of interests states if they have any other employment; or financial or non-financial interests in any other organisations, companies, or property.
The purpose of the register
The purpose of the register of senior officers' interests is to help identify potential conflicts of interest when officers are making decisions. This register is available for inspection by auditors and senior managers and we also make it available to the public.
What information is included in the register
The register includes the following information:
- name of the officer
- position held in the Council
- particulars of any other paid employment held outside of the Council
- name and address of any business and the nature of the interest therein
- details of any directorship, consultancy or financial interest not listed elsewhere in the register
- details of any non-financial interest in any organisation such as a professional body, trade association, club etc in which the officer is a member or an office holder
- details of any shareholding or other financial interest in any company where the total nominal value of any securities exceeds £25,000 or 1% of the total nominal value of the issued share capital, whichever is less
- description and location of any property owned, leased or mortgaged within Renfrewshire (home addresses not disclosed).
